LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The postseason's second set of softball all-region awards was released Monday, with five Greyhounds appearing on the D2CCA All-Midwest Region List. Senior Kenzee Smith was tabbed the Midwest Pitcher of the Year, while teammates Jocelyn Calvin, Megan Nichols and Emily O'Connor joined her on the first team. Lexy Rees was included on the second team.

Nominated and voted on by the region's College Sports Communicators, the release comes on the heels of the NFCA's all-region announcement. All five aforementioned Greyhounds appeared on both lists, with all five repeating their D2CCA recognition from a season ago. Meanwhile, Smith becomes the sixth Greyhound pitcher since 2012 to be named the region's best pitcher, the last being her former-teammate Hallie Waters in 2021.
 
The quintet leads a 56-win UIndy club that is hosting the NCAA DII Midwest Super Regional this week. The Hounds will face 21st-ranked Trevecca in a best-of-three series this Tuesday and Wednesday, with the winner advancing to the NCAA DII Championships.
